Fig. 1From: Comparative transcriptome profiling of Eimeria tenella in various developmental stages and functional analysis of an ApiAP2 transcription factor exclusively expressed during sporogonyTranscriptome relationships of E. tenella at different developmental time points. A PCA of the transcriptomes of E. tenella developmental stages: unsporulated oocysts (USO), partially sporulated oocysts (SO8h), sporulated oocysts (SO), merozoites (Mz108 and Mz120), and gametocytes (Gam132). B Hierarchical clustering analysis of seven time points. Genes expressed in at least one stage (TPM ≥ 1) were used for PCA and hierarchical clustering by utilizing a Z-score normalization stepBack to article page
